About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines grow on alluvial soils at a planting density of 4,000 vines/ha.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in late September, then macerated on their skins for 10 days at a controlled temperature of 10–28 °C.

Ageing

The wine rests for six months in stainless-steel tanks, followed by 36 months in oak barrels from Allier, Lemousin and Slavonia. It then ages for a further six months in bottle in the winery’s cellars before release.

Tasting profile

Approachable, fruit-forward and well-balanced.
